Chapter 400 Unconditional Belief
Mu Rong and the other two got on the carriage of the Ningguo Mansion.
Mu Erxuan looked at his sister with a pleasant expression.
"Excuse me, second sister, what can I do for you?"
Mu Rong went straight to the point.
"If the prince is disabled, he will never be able to take the throne."
Mu Erxuan and Mu Erchen were shocked at the same time.
"what?!"
Mu Rong was dejected.
"On the night of the fire in Prince Chen's Mansion, he was deposed by Ning Yunxi. It's my fault that I didn't know the news until now."
Mu Erxuan disagreed and pointed out the doubts.
"It may be false. His Royal Highness Prince Chen has been keeping it a secret, so why would he suddenly tell us? Isn't this a test?"
Mu Rong had a gloomy face, without a trace of smile.
"How could he tell me? Fengzhe told me."
Upon hearing that they were his own family members, Mu Erxuan believed them even more.
"What Fengzhe said is probably true."
Mur Chen raised an objection with a serious look on his face.
"But Fengzhe is simple and kind, so it's inevitable that he will be deceived. Ning Yunxi may be behind this."
Mu Erxuan nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement.
"Fourth brother, you have a point. Ning Yunxi has been cunning since childhood, and should not be underestimated."
Listening to their conversation, Mu Rong sighed.
"Ugh."
Mu Erxuan showed concern immediately.
"Why is Second Sister sighing so deeply?"
Mu Rong felt somewhat depressed and ashamed of herself for standing on her feet like a duck or a crane.
"We have all been deceived by him. Fengzhe is a man of great talent who hides his cleverness and acts simple. He is even one step ahead of Ning Yunxi. Today, he caught us by surprise and sent Alliance Leader Qi away with a trick!"
Mu Erxuan and Mu Erchen were shocked again.
"what?!"
Mur Chen smiled helplessly, totally unable to believe it.
"Second sister must have been tricked by Shen Zhongning Yunxi. She believed it and started to talk nonsense. Fengzhe is our child. He has been well-behaved and sensible since he was young. How could he possibly deceive his elders?"
Mu Erxuan believed it immediately and was overjoyed.
"Fourth brother, please wait and think carefully. Fengzhe is very talented and resourceful. This is a good thing."
After thinking about it, Mur Chen was also pleased.
"Fortunately, Third Brother enlightened me. That's right. We originally planned to support Fengzhe to restore his status and inherit the throne. If he is too kind, it would be inconvenient for him to act; but if he has extraordinary talent, he will become a wise ruler in the future."
Imagining the future, Mu Erxuan clapped his hands and laughed.
"Hahaha, thinking this way, our Mu clan, thanks to Fengzhe, will also go down in history and become famous."
Murchen showed an expectant look on his face.
"Third brother is right."
Mu Rong couldn't laugh at all and gave a cold reminder.
"Fengzhe followed King Dijin."
Mu Erxuan didn't react and was still enjoying it.
"Fengzhe is hiding inside and trying to dismantle the city. This is a risky move. No wonder the second sister sighed with regret. It turns out she was worried about her beloved son."
Thinking back to when his nephew was a child, he was very cute, and Mur Chen's smile gradually became more kind.
"Fengzhe is obedient, so Second Sister naturally loves him; we are also filled with joy to see him."
When talking about his nephew, Mu Erxuan's face becomes beaming with joy.
"That's right, that child is especially lovable."
Mu Rong raised her voice to wake up the sleeping person.
"Third brother, fourth brother, stop daydreaming. Fengzhe resolutely abandoned us and followed King Dijin!"
Mu Erxuan finally understood and was stunned.
"Oh no……"
Mur Chen was even more incredulous.
"Impossible. How can you bear to abandon a family?"
Seeing this, Mu Rong felt a little reluctant to part with her beloved son and her heart was slightly shaken.
"He did express his stance, but he is not a sincere follower. As long as we are in power, he will return."
Mu Erxuan believed it without a doubt and doted on his nephew especially.
"This is the truth. Fengzhe would never lie."
Mur Chen nodded yes and then responded.
"Yes, he is always honest."
Mu Rong was unsure and expressed her thoughts.
"But when I saw him, it was clear that he sincerely followed King Dijin and was willing to be his minister, with no intention of fighting for the imperial power."
Mu Erxuan was full of disbelief.
“How come you see?”
Mu Rong has her own reasoning.
"Mother and child are connected by heart, and there is a hidden feeling."
Mur Chen was amused by her and refuted her bluntly.
"This is nonsense. From ancient times to the present, there is no research at all. Second sister is too suspicious."
Mu Erxuan immediately refuted.
"Fengzhe is a prince. Throughout history, is there any example of a prince who has no interest in the throne? Second sister doesn't understand Fengzhe at all."
Mu Rong frowned and lost some patience.
"Why can't you explain it? If I had known this would happen, I would have kept it secret."
Mu Erxuan analyzed the situation in a very logical and logical manner.
"I think what Second Sister said is absolutely right. But Fengzhe also makes sense. What King Dijin holds is power, isn't it? Once we gain power, Fengzhe will definitely return. Otherwise, how can he still follow the underground? Isn't that foolish?"
Murchen added in agreement.
"Third brother is right. He followed halfway. Even if he was sincere, how could he be so loyal?"
Mu Erxuan continued to analyze, sticking to the facts and making decisions fluently.
"Don't worry, Second Sister. He is your biological child, the precious child of our family. He is not related to Prince Di Jin. Fengzhe can clearly tell which family is close and which is distant."
"Are you overthinking and worrying because you saw Ning Yunxi abandon you? To put it bluntly, she is not even an adopted daughter. She is just a maid raised by the Ning Mansion. What does she have to do with us? When she grows up, she will either go after her biological parents or fight for power ambitiously. I have said before that she will not be able to settle down and will give up sooner or later."
Unable to convince her third and fourth brothers, Mu Rong's eyes looked slightly tired.
"Even my own family members may not be at ease. Just look at Feng'er and Wei'er and you will know the truth."
Mur Chen treats his children with innocence and frankness.
"Feng'er was married off by the Emperor, what can we do? It's not that he can't tell who his family members are, he has no choice but to do this. If he stays in the Zhuang Mansion and doesn't want to be loyal to the Emperor, how can he survive?"
"As for Wei'er, I heard that this kid is very good at business and has a bright future. Why do you say that?"
If he continued to talk, even his mother's family would try to isolate Mu Rong.
Feeling deeply that she had fallen into Ning Yunxi's trap of alienating them, she felt tired and helpless. She waved her hands and refused to say more.
"forget it. I'm done here."
She changed the subject and returned to normal.
"I will first send my fourth brother back to the court to be busy with the Hetaigong. Then I will send my third brother back to the Mu Mansion. I will then go to the palace to ask to see the Imperial Concubine to discuss how to dissolve the adoption relationship and sever ties with Prince Chen."
Mur Chen suddenly remembered something and blurted it out.
"Speaking of official business, I just went to the court and looked through the booklet, and saw a familiar name."
"Qiu Shirong, do you recognize him?"
Mu Erxuan felt it sounded very familiar.
"I seem to have heard someone mention it before."
Mu Rong naturally remembered that this was Qiu Bi's fake father. She felt something was wrong and asked urgently.
"What happened? Why is this person registered?"
Mur Chen answered leisurely, as if chatting casually.
"I didn't look closely, I just know that Lord Qin was in charge of the interrogation, and it seems that the crime is unforgivable."
Mu Rong asked immediately.
"You try to keep him."
Mur Chen shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
"It's too late. The inscription shows that the enemy came quietly and both husband and wife died."
"Who is so bold as to trespass into the court? In my opinion, this must have been done intentionally by Lord Qin."
